The Power of Spiritual Vision: Why Motivation Alone Won’t Get You There

Vision or Motivation: Which Comes First?

Does motivation have anything to do with vision or being a visionary? And does vision have anything to do with being motivated?

From my experience, these two attributes work hand in hand.

When you have a vision; when you can see the potential in something or foresee the future of a project, it automatically fuels your inspiration and motivates you toward achieving that goal.

Spiritual Vision: The Roadmap to Success

Before action comes imagination; the image in your mind’s eye or even a higher vision forming in your third eye.

• The clarity of that image provides the roadmap for your project or moving in a certain direction.

• If you are willing to believe in it and stick to it; it will be the end goal of the new road you will take and that vision becomes your destination.

• The road may be long, filled with twists, turns, and challenges, but staying motivated and focused on the outcome will lead to success.

  
  

Taking a path no one has traveled before can feel uncertain and even scary.

• This is where it’s important to return to your original spiritual vision—to review it, refine it, and revive it to stay on track.

• Doing so ensures you don’t lose sight of the end goal.

Motivation: The Fuel That Keeps You Moving

Think of motivation as gasoline in your car—it powers you through the journey. whereas vision is the end product of your desired outcome, like the destination the car takes you to. 

• Vision is the destination,

• Motivation is what keeps you going.

  
  

Without spiritual vision, motivation won’t last, it will slowly dissipate because there’s no clear direction and goal to keep it alive.

This is why people create mood boards, to provide a visual representation of their goals and aspirations. It help them stay motivated, inspired and move forwrd in the right direction. It is a physical vision. something tangible they can refer to and refresh their memory of why they on this journey.

When I worked in the fashion industry for a French Forecasting Trend Agency, we would create seasonal mood boards to tell a story about where fashion was heading.

• These mood boards were translated into fashion pages—concise, digestible guides, comprehensible bite sizes for our clients to use and apply to their collection that year.

  That was the VISION.

  
  

• In turn our clients were inspired to create their collections and this gave them a roadmap to follow and not deviate too much from the fashion trend that year.

  That was the INSPIRATION and MOTIVATION.

  
  

The vision came first. The motivation and inspiration followed.

How to Cultivate Spirtual Vision & Inspiration

But what if you don’t have a vision? What if nothing is coming through your imagination?

There are many ways you can induce or help your spiritual body (where true inspiration comes from) show you the way and awaken inspiration, which helps you nurture and develop your ability to create.

But in short,

• Engage in a daily spiritual practice (this is something I teach in my digital program, Cultivating a Daily Spiritual Practice). It will elevate your moods and clear your head of dross to naturally promote spiritual vision and inspiration in your life.

• A cluttered mind blocks visions.

• When Soul expresses itself— you will feel happy, in the flow, and childlike.

The universe of God is infinite and multi faceted. OUR own Soul is  inherently creative and made in the image of God, which is also multi-faceted. We have inside of ourselves all the tools to be creative, have visions (the roadmap) and be inspired to actuate whatever we are drawn to.

Taking Action: The Missing Piece

Having a vision is one thing. But taking action is another.

Taking action is part of the creation process—it is your responsibility if you want to manifest and achieve what you see in your mind’s eye.
